Silhouette - Poem by nikki hays

We are a silhouetteYou and IBlack and whiteAgainst the pale blue skyI hear the whispersI feel the bitter stares'What are you, racist? As if they think i care'Whats wrong with the white man'They often accuseWell whats wrong with blackI guess we're todays newsHow can we be racist? For arent we againstAll that racism stands forWhat is this, A test? Oh poor simple country miceLend me your earsThis is about usWe dont care for your fearsA beautiful pictureOf love as it isThe plain and whole truthLet your shallowness restTwo worlds are collidedIn his and my mindIntermingled with passionAnd with hearts that now bindWhen we say our 'I DO's'Then together we will beHusband and wife Through EternityAmen to the black manThe whole world i searchedTo find a pure heartAnd his was the firstTo love unconditionalBoundries were crossedAnd now evermoreSilhouette wont be lost
